MRO Launch delayed 24 hours...
Apparently due to Redundant Rate Gyro failure during manufacturer testing... engineers are testing the gyro and wondering if the same failure might occur in the gyros installed on MRO's Atlas V launcher. If so, they'd scrub the launch and replace the gyros in the rocket... if they can't repeat the failure in follow up tests on duplicate systems, they may cross fingers and send the spacecraft.
